Directions for the Primary Research Article summary assignment.html

You are to read a primary research article on an aspect of health about women in another country.  (The two links below this one on the content page will help you know what qualifies as a research article).  This is a primary research article- We do have a librarian in the classlist that is more that willing to look at the article you find in your index to make sure you are using a research article.  (This means you should not use newspapers or editorials from the internet.)

 

This article can be anything that affects women's health and it can be any other country outside the USA.  You must then summarize the article in at least one full page double spaced and write a citation in APA style—see the content page for help with that (yes, put a citation even though you are also including a copy of the article).   Write enough  summary (one page) to let us know what the article discussed in details because these postings will be used for your classmates to choose a topic for their mid-term papers. You do not have to give your thoughts and opinions about the article, just a summary.   

 

Download the article into a pdf file and post with the summary. This is required for the summary to be accepted.  Do not just put the link to the article.  You must put the pdf copy of the actual full text article 

 

Post all of this on the discussion board with the article title in the subject line of your posting.  You will see a heading called Research Article on the discussion board for you to post this under.   

 

Then for your midterm, you will then read your classmates article summaries and pick one of these to use for your topic on your mid term paper.   (See midterm article directions on the content page for more details on the midterm project)
